Annoyingly, there isn't anything that tells you how many you have had in total... only your best streak, which for me is 2.

But yeah... re the achievement, I don't think you can get it racing normally. It's almost inevitable to have a small bump at least once in 10 or 15 races ffs.
 
Only managed 4 in a row myself, I would guess 6 in a row is possible if you get the right field, especially in the shorter races but if you want the top achievement, riding around the back is likely the only way it may not get ruined by someone else.
 
Have managed a streak of 5 thus far - am also of the opinion that the top achievement is only obtainable by being the 'sweeper'.

Cheers, ASH32 I now play on a pad as I have moved to a smaller place so no more wheel, I don't think ill be getting
Pole Positions, Fastest Laps and Victories achievement any time sooner as well.
 
I've been up to 9 twice, never really focused on it though.

Yeah, I'm similar, I'm not going for it so if it happens, bonus. If it's the last thing I need to get a platinum after doing everything else, I might (and it's only a might) do some tail-end charlie work

Don't think you need it for Platinum, do you?
 
I managed 11 in a row, but only by dropping back at the start of each race and staying out of trouble.

Even that strategy was threatened though, by drivers who dropped back to race with me, presumably because they felt sorry for me or thought I was lonely!
 
The only way I managed to get it up was when I was building my DR. For some reason the game put me on pole for like 6 races in a row, in rooms with people a fair bit slower than me, so I just rocketed away and get clean laps in.

No such luck since then
 
On my second account, where i test atm how fast i can level up, i have done 17 races the last two days. Only 4 of them had crashes, two of it by my fault (soft touches to others) and two of it where i get rammed from behind (one by mistake and one on Monza by intention i think).

As conclusion from the 17 races where 13 without accidents. On tracks where you would not suspect: GR.1 Monza and GR.3 BB Raceway :D
 
15 races without hitting someone or going off track is totally possible but 15 races without someone hitting you is next to impossible.
I'm at 17 clean races .
I was at 4 races just playing the game day to day so
One day when the C races were not to my liking I decided to try and do a run at the back of the grid to get this achievement. I done it in the B race, I started from the back every time and just rolled round at the back and finished every race within the time limit.
I went from DR A, SR A to DR B (mid level) , SR S.
I completed this on the fist time of trying so after the 15 race I set a qualifying time and put it on pole for the next race and second the race after, I won both of those and the third race I started second and put a couple of wheels in the dirt and that was my run over.
Doing it this way is not my idea of fun or how I imagined PD would want it done but to do this correctly you have to be really lucky with good clean player matching as it's just not down to your own skill.
And now it's done so I never have to do it again

Got 5 in a row, when I started the game but didn't notice it at the time. Best recently is 3 or 4 I think.

I got 15, at a mix of Suzuka East and Interlagos. However I definitely shouldn't have got it, as there were 2 races where I was facing backwards on Lap 1 after being completely taken off.

About half of those races involved me being at the front, and the other half involved me fighting between 2nd and 6th (apart from the 2 when I was taken out and still somehow clean)
 
Dead easy, just bimble along at the back, you don't even have to race or complete the race distance. Just stay out of the way of the real racers as you don't want to spook them with a random ghost car. Do the short A races, you'll have it done in no time at all and as a bonus, your DR will have massively dropped so when you decide to race for real you will get poles, wins and fastest laps on your way back up to your regular DR! Win-win situation!

Agreed but not sure about "no time at all",
maybe more like around 4-5 hours to fit in 15 races!!!!
 
Yeah thats no time at all in my world!
 
I got the 15 achievement early on by hanging back, got one more after that 16 total. It took 4 attempts with losing it at 12th and 10th consecutive races driving very carefully (was pre yellow flag bug), until I stayed well back for the final attempt to avoid crashed out people too eager to get back to the front and hitting me in the process. So not race at all the first lap, then go for a fastest lap in 2 and 3 with plenty of space in front of me.

The best I've managed with actual hard racing is a streak of 7 before I got bumped from behind in the 8th. I'm coming up on 1200 sport races, 99% at SR.S, no clue how you would get the 15 with normal racing unless you make sure you qualify until you start on pole or at least top 3 every time.

Tip, if you get hit and you're close to completing it, it seems that quitting the race after a hit will preserve your clean streak. You'll lose SR and DR yet the clean streak stands. I found this out by accident after a random disconnect in a dirty race, wondering how my clean streak was 3 after the next race.
 
My best streak is 6 and surprisingly that was done in race c.
 
I got the achievement by staying in the back of the pack. You may be surprised at how bad some people suck at this game. Multiple times I finished 2nd to last b/c I couldnt handle watching the last place guy drive lol
 
Zero. I've had zero clean races. It's like the demolition derby when I play. And I find it real frustrating that MY SR drops when someone hits me. I know I'm not a great driver, but geeze... I ended up in D last night after racing the BB track a couple times and the blatant ramming got even worse!

I imagined your face in that race exactly as your profile picture :lol:
